    A funny old day near Gatwick

    I will post update when I have it from Gatwick. It is early days and we all need to work towards meeting everyone's needs and make compromises. The offset of the RFZ is all part of the learning curve for all. Gatwick Airport people and the police were terrific which encourages me. Someone I...

    A funny old day near Gatwick

    They arrived in my street and found my house without asking anyone, saw me in the garden gazing upwards, clue there as to what I was up to. I think AeroScope spotted me on a previous flight to around 130'. Nothing to fear if you play by the rules but then there never has been from the likes of...

    A funny old day near Gatwick

    Not sure how far their kit was showing me inside the zone but GO4 and NATs apps show me about 300-400 metres outside. I will update once I have the info from Gatwick, hopefully in a couple of weeks. It very early days for everyone, police, airport authority and myself. Reassuring it was not...

    A funny old day near Gatwick

    I have seen the results previously with their baby version of AeroScope and it was accurate within a matter of yards, guess that is how the police arrived at my door. A worthwhile experience for all I think.

    A funny old day near Gatwick

    Thanks Ray, police were very nice. Seemed impressed that I knew what I was doing and had taken all precautions to comply. The AeroScope issue will be resolved but I think by offering a solution to Gatwick ATC (volunteer to stop flying for a couple of weeks until discrepancy is resolved will...

    A funny old day near Gatwick

    So there I was flying my DJI Mavic 2 Pro to a height of 370' vertically above my garden and then two Gatwick Police Officers arrived (normally part of the Armed Response Team but not today). “Hello, Hello, Hello mind if I have a word” they said. “Certainly, just wait whilst I land my M2P” I...

    Flying a Mavic Air Drone within a Non Flying Zone(NFZ)

    I fly within Gatwick's NFZ, applied for license after getting the OK from Gatwick Airport Ltd, just attached email to the application to DJI, license back in minutes. The only pain is that you have to be in the authorised area to activate the license and it seems I have to that on each visit to...

    M2P remote serial number?

    Hi Turn11, thanks for reply. You are right, when I applied for an authorization license I tried an the a/c S/No and yes it worked. Gave me a 500m radius for 3 months. I live inside the Gatwick Airport RFZ (yes that Gatwick) from 13th March when the ANO comes into effect and now have ATC...

    M2P remote serial number?

    DJI asked for the remote controller s/n. I have used my IPhone and I now get the full screen down to 'contact website' but no mention of the remote, the only reference is to what I imagine is the software version. Interesting that Crystal Sky limits the info you can see.

    M2P remote serial number?

    Thank you for the reply. How odd, I can not see a legend for the remote serial number, the list ends at Camera Serial number. I am now wondering if it is because I am using a CS5.5 screen. I understand there are issues with downloads because the bottom of the screen is not displayed

    M2P remote serial number?

    I need the remote serial number to allow flight authority in a NFZ (I have the permission) but I cannot read the remote serial number as label is smudged, I have tried DJII assistant but no help. HAs anyone got the answer? Hope so :-(

    Crystalsky monitor mount for Mavic 2 pro

    Used a couple of small cable ties until these arrived from China, too a few weeks but are just the job and great value. Have ordered a second set just in case I lose one, DJI CrystalSky Monitor Mount Bracket Adapter Holder for DJI Mavic 2/Air | eBay
